Titan Comics has announced it is teaming up with Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe to publish a brand-new series of comics in 2025; set in the disturbing world of the successful video game franchise, Little Nightmares. 

Titan Comics’ Little Nightmares: Descent to Nowhere Issue #1 is written by Lonnie Nadler (The Sickness, Cable) also known as the showrunner and lead writer for The Sounds of Nightmares, the Little Nightmares podcast, with art by Ringo Award-nominated artist Dennis Menheere (Etheres, Beyond Real). The issue will take readers in an investigation story navigating between the Nowhere, a nightmarish world filled with frightening inhabitants, and the Counties, an equivalent to our world. The series will include 4 issues and a graphic novel collection.

‘More Ghostbusters movies are coming,’ says Kenan PLUS exciting GB animated series updates

“It’s been an incredible journey to distill Little Nightmares into the comic medium; Lonnie and Dennis have packed each panel with depth and deeper meaning, for a twisting mystery that’ll leave you haunted and yearning for the next issue.” says Phoebe Hedges, Titan Comics Editor.

The comic series launches in comic stores in 2025, but fans attending New York Comic Con 2024 can stop by Bandai Namco’s booth #2319 for an exclusive early preview.

Little Nightmares franchise offers a deep universe to discover on different platforms with already 2 console games, a mobile game and a podcast series available.

Within this universe each of your childhood fears becomes true. After vanishing without a trace, children wake up in a vast nightmare reality filled with monsters, where survival comes at a cost, and escape is nearly impossible. However, a glimmer of hope remains, full of innocence, the children always seek to find a way out. They can count on their curiosity and ingenuity to escape various monstruous threats and solve puzzles and mysteries.

The first game in the series was released in 2017. After this success, the franchise was exported to the mobile platform with Very Little Nightmares, before returning to its origins, on all platforms (Sony, Xbox, PC, Nintendo) with Little Nightmares II in 2021.
